Nylon PA12 CF

Fused Deposition Modeling [FDM]

Nylon PA12 CF

combines high-grade Nylon 12 with 35 wt% chopped carbon fiber, delivering the strongest flexural performance of any FDM thermoplastic. Its exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio makes it ideal for lightweight yet rugged applications

perfect when replacing metal components in tooling, automotive parts, aerospace prototypes, and durable industrial fixtures

This material achieves

outstanding flexural strength up to 142 MPa (XZ direction)—and flexural modulus near 10.6 GPa, outperforming standard nylon and . It also withstands elevated temperatures with heat deflection resistance of 177 °C, ensuring parts

remain stable under mechanical load and thermal stress

With its low density

and exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio, Nylon 12CF enables the production of strong yet lightweight components like jigs, fixtures, drone frames, and tooling aids. It also resists moisture and chemicals better than standard nylons, offering dimensional stability even in damp or corrosive environments.

Compared to SLA carbon-filled parts, Nylon 12CF delivers comparable strength with a cleaner, more efficient FDM printing process

Material Properties

Young’s modulus (X-Y)

~6,000–8,000 MPa

Tensile strength (X-Y)

~60–80 MPa

Elongation at break (X-Y)

~2–5%

Impact strength

~100–120 MPa

Walls

Supported Wall Thickness Min
0.2 mm
Unsupported Wall Thickness Min
0.2 mm

A supported wall is connected at least on two sides of the wall, while an unsupported wall is connected only on one side of the wall.

Walls that do not meet the minimum requirements may not survive printing and cleaning processes. Additionally, models may still be rejected based on the wall geometry of the model.

Please consider the size of your model and reinforce the walls or add support structures as needed as minimum guidelines will not always be adequate for large models.

Design Guidelines

Bounding Box
Bounding Box Max
300 x 300 x 300 mm
Bounding Box Min
7x7x2 (mm)

The bounding box is a 3D imaginary outline of a box that encloses the smallest area occupied by your model.

Your model must be within the minimum and maximum bounding box sizes. If the size of the model is close to the maximum bounding box, then the printing orientation will be restricted.

Accuracy

Accuracy +/-0.25 mm + 0.1%

For example: a product with dimensions of 50x50x100 mm can be 0.15 mm + 0.0015*100 mm = 0.3 mm bigger or smaller in any direction.

Nylon PA12 CF

Strengths - High Strength-to-Weight Ratio, Excellent Stiffness, Heat Resistance

Weaknesses - Minimal visible print layer lines for a polished finish.
